At Computex this month, Acer has introduced several new mobile devices, in addition to larger displays (Acer’s Projectors Compensate for Ambient Light).
The 8″ Iconia One 8 (B1-830) and 7″ Iconia One 7 (B1-760HD) are new tablets with IPS panels, running Android 5.1. The 8″ model has an octa-core Mediatek processor, and joins the older B1-820 (quad-core Intel processor). The 7″ features Acer’s Precision Plus technology, which supports very fine writing implements.
There was also a new hybrid: the Aspire Switch 11 v2. As the name implies, it is the second generation of last year’s Aspire Switch 11. The unit has a magnetically-attached keyboard, will last up to eight hours on battery and features an Intel Core-M processor. The 11.6″ display uses an IPS panel (optically-bonded), protected with Gorilla Glass 3.
Full specifications for these products will be released closer to their release in Q3. Acer also said that a new 10″ Switch model, with Intel’s newest Atom X5 processor, would be announced later in the year.
